Below are the details, to quote: "PSN is not functioning properly right now and according to Sony it has to do with the Minecraft launch. As you all know, it’s an extremely popular game that has sold millions on numerous platforms.

We reported earlier that people have been getting various errors and some were even seeing 0 games in their PS4 library. The multiplayer is also not functioning although you can see your friends list.

The PS4 is unstable and that’s entirely due to PSN, which is sort of scary if you think about it.

Below are the details, to quote: During Sony’s pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference which is currently being held in Japan Square Enix announced Dragon Quest Heroes for PS4 and PS3, currently in development at Omega Force.

Given the developer, you probably don’t need to see the trailer to know that the title will have some elements of a Dynasty Warriors-style experience, but this time around it’s an actual action RPG .

To accompany the game a special limited edition silver PS4 named “Metal Slime” will also be released,...

26w ago - Sony Product Planning and Software Innovation Director Scott McCarthy confirmed the recent rumors today at their Tokyo Press Conference that PS4 / PS Vita Themes are incoming and that their Live from PlayStation App is also PS Vita-bound.

To quote: Early this morning, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia (SCEJA) held a press conference in Tokyo where some new features were announced for both PS4 and PS Vita.

In case you missed it, I'm happy to confirm that Themes, one of the most popular features from PlayStation 3, are coming to PS4 and PS Vita this fall with system software updates coming to both platforms.

With these two updates (v2.00 for PS4 and v3.30 for PS Vita), you'll be able to reflect your personality across all your PlayStation systems - PS4, PS3, and PS Vita!

Themes are among the most requested features from PS4 owners, so we're eager to offer them and will share more...

Below are the details, to quote: Most press releases are boring, awful things.

This one here, for example, is pretty bad right out of the gate. Far as we can tell, most press releases are so stuffy because the people writing them are business types, with suits and ties.

So, in accordance with that free-wheeling game developer spirit, we've decided not to announce Dust: An Elysian Tail for PS4 ourselves. Instead, we're going to pass the proverbial baton over to one of the stars of Dust: An Elysian Tail and let her do it instead. There is no way this could possibly go wrong.

"Hello, Internet-People! I'm Fidget, co-star of Dust: An Elysian Tail. As you can see in the photograph displayed above, taken moments ago in a candid fashion, I'm playing the game with a DualShock 4! That's no Photoshop job, that's the real deal! Dust: An Elysian Tail is coming to PlayStation 4 REALLY REALLY SOON! I KNOW! It's crazy! Crazy like a nimbat!

"So, what is Dust: An Elysian Tail? I'm glad you asked, this being an announcement post about it and all!

27w ago - 4A Games Studio Rep Bi50N made available a PS4 launch trailer video announcing that Metro Redux is officially out today on PlayStation 4.

To quote: It doesn't seem that long ago that we were revealing Metro Redux to the world - today we're incredibly proud to announce the launch of Metro Redux for PS4!

The entire team at 4A Games has been working for a year on this project, under some incredible circumstances (as anyone who has followed the news coming out of Ukraine will know).

Metro Redux includes both Metro: Last Light and the prequel Metro 2033, which has never been available on a PlayStation console until now.

We completely rebuilt Metro 2033 in our latest engine, and managed to get both games to run at 1080p, targeting 60fps on PS4. You can try each game individually via PlayStation Store for $24.99, or get both together in the retail Metro Redux double pack.

From everyone at 4A, thanks for all the support we've received this year - we hope you enjoy what we think is the definitive Metro experience.
